Good idea, I can never memorize those goofy rules.
It could be a cool thing to have for example
in BibLaTeX.
You don't have to know a lot of Elisp to do that.
Here is a start. Only you'll have to insert the
"stopwords" yourself.
(setq do-not-capitalize '("ah" "oh" "eh"))
(defun make-a-title (beg end)
(interactive "r")
(save-excursion
(goto-char beg)
(forward-word)
(backward-word)
(while (< (point) end)
(if (member (thing-at-point 'word t) do-not-capitalize)
(forward-word)
(capitalize-word 1) )
(forward-word)
(backward-word) )))
